Seasons Givings

Happy New Year! Today I'm participating in the Seasons Giving blog hop. This is the fifth year of the hop, which is just a way for companies and bloggers to say thank you for all of you who visit us. I am sponsoring the hop with a MISTI giveaway (the original size), so leave me a comment on this post for your chance to win! You can comment through January 5th at noon central to be eligible.

Now on to my card!

I made this Card with the Stampin' Up Wonderland stamp. It was in the Holiday catalog from last year. I don't think it is available right now. Sorry, I didn't realize that until after the card was done. However, I am sure there are plenty of tree stamp sets that can be substituted.

I stamped the trees with Lawn Fawn Noble Fir ink. After I stamped it, I cleaned off my stamp and then repeated using Versamark ink. Then, I used clear embossing powder to seal in the color. The clear embossing powder sealed in the stamped image so that I could use various distress inks to create my back ground.

Once I placed my panel on my card base, I found a moon left over from this card. I made it for that card and didn't use it. The video here shows how I made it.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a Happy New Year! Please continue on to the other sites participating in this hop by visiting the links below the video for your chance to win much more!

Your MISTI has changed my life forever in such a good way, I ADORE it! But mine is one of the first orders and it needs a rest, so I would be thrilled to win another one! Thanks for the MISTI and the chance to win!

I love the technique you used to create your trees. Your night sky background is gorgeous! Thank you for the chance to win such a fabulous and generous prize. Wishing you and the entire My Sweet Petunia team a very happy New Year!

Oh, one of these days I might win a MISTI, and then I'll be such a happy camper! Still doing it the old school way but every time I see how versatile and helpful it is I ask myself why I don't just buy one!! Maybe for my birthday wishlist, right? This card is gorgeous...and I have a special love of landscapes. Happy 2017 and thanks for your inspiration and generous giveaway.

Beautiful card, Iliana! Thank you for referring back to how you made the moon. I was curious. And thank you for the opportunity to win the MISTI. I already have one, but would love to win it and give it as a gift to a deserving friend. Blessings to you in this New Year!

Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and artistry; you inspire me so much. My crafting goal for 2017 is to try to create at least once a week. Doesn't seem like a lot but balancing work, my family, and taking care of my mom leaves little time for anything else but crafting freshens my soul so it's important.

What a beautiful scene you have created..love this...thanks for the chance to win, but that is not really why I stopped by, just wanted to see what you created and saw the giveaway ..how fun!! Have a wonderful 2017!!

What a great combination of the world moon and the trees from the SU set! I love it. I'm crossing my fingers for your give away, because I still don't have a Misti and live having one! Happy 2017 for you!

Thank you for explaining your technique. A Misti would really help with my stamping. I mess up a fair amount of cardstock with bad stamping. I've been seeing so many fabulous techniques done using your Misti. You must be so proud! Happy New Years!

Such a beautiful card Iliana, I enjoyed the video. Always enjoy seeing the MISTI in use. Its kind of like heating embossing powder, it never gets old! LOLThanks for the chance to win and Happy New Year!

Love that moon! It is quite realistic!Love your card, as well. Thanks for the video, giving all the details.Happy New Year to you, Iliana!Wishing you health and prosperity to you, your family, and all your friends - on line and off!

What a stunning card! I'm not sure if people in the UK can enter for the giveaway but I wanted to comment anyway. I love that moon, it's just perfect the way it stands up from the card. I'm off to watch the video now. Thanks for sharing with us.Bejay xx

Lydia, Happy New Year!! I just love this peaceful scene with falling snow, even the crooked tree. ; ) And yes, in nature, trees grow in all directions so your card looks very real. I'm amazed at how perfect the Misti makes card making!! Thanks for showing how to use it and turning directions, that is very helpful.

I made it through the entire list. Thanksfor notifying me about the hop. Love myMisti - will share this one with my daughter if I win.thanks for much for sharing your ideasthrough the year.Happy New Year

Great video tutorial on making a outdoor background. I would love to win a misty because I don't have one and see how great they are. No more throwing away cards because something didn't stamp right. Happy New Year!God bless,Peggy AllenPeggy

I just love, love, love my MISTI, it is the most used tool in my card making. It is well used and so useful in all aspects of stamping. I demonstrated it to some of my stamping friends and now they use it all the time too. Yes there are other trees but that one by SU is really neat. I have been trying to buy it but have not had any success yet. Thank you for a great, well made, useful tool! Happy New Year.
